    Learn Courses Basic level Sentence structure Imperative sentences

"Wash your hands", "Don't do that". These are imperatives, or orders that we give to another person. Continue below to learn how to form these imperative sentences.

En inglés no se usa el imperativo tanto como en el español. En general, se usa para dar órdenes, instrucciones o advertencias. Las frases imperativas se construyen de manera diferente a las afirmativas: no se utiliza un sujeto porque se supone que el sujeto es siempre "you" y el verbo principal va en la forma infinitiva.

1. El imperativo afirmativo

Verbo + nombre, adjetivo...

Ejemplos:

Do your homework!(¡Haz los deberes!)
Wash your hands!(¡Lavaros las manos!)
Tell me the truth!(¡Dime la verdad!)

2. El imperativo negativo

Verbo auxiliar (to do) + auxiliar negativo (not) + verbo + nombre, adjetivo...

Ejemplos:

Do not lie to me!(¡No me mientas!)
Do not wash in the washing machine.(No lo lave en la lavadora.)
Don't hit your sister!(¡No le pegues a tu hermana!)

Nota: Si queremos incluirnos a nosotros mismos, usamos "let's".

Ejemplos:

Let's go!(¡Nos vamos!)
Let's not fight.(No nos peleemos.)
